Answer summary

The post discusses an expat's upcoming application for a DTV visa from the UK, focusing on the desire to pursue Muay Thai and freelance work. Comments suggest that he should apply under the Muay Thai category, as it might be easier than qualifying through other options. There are also inquiries about his current location, the gym he is training with, and the proof of training duration needed for the visa application.

Where are you now ? In the UK ???

Are you using a Muay Thai training gym that has been successful in getting their students approved for the DTV visa by providing the important documents needed for your application?

How Long..in months or year...are you providing proof of your planned training in Muay Thai?

Apply with the Muay Thai, doesn't sound like you qualify via Workation.

@Sean ******

dont worry about that mate the Muay Thai gym you use for your application doesn’t need to be the one you use after the initial classes.

You can use any gym ur not locked in
